You can store the digital cerificate as a simple text file with an extension .cer.I hope this answers your question.

You can use the same APIs as keytool to save your certificate in a Java keystore. And as K Aditi said, you can export a certificate as a text file, using an X.509 CertificateFactory. I guess you'll still need to save the private key separately, possibly using an RSA KeyFactory and a PKCS8EncodedKeySpec.
